In 1953 Edgar Fernhout received a government commission to portray the reparations of Schouwen Duivenland (Zeeland, Holland) after the flooding of February 1953. He made sketches and photographs in order to use them in his studio in Amsterdam. This technique was direct and forceful, the turbulent sky is expressed in fine lines. Edgar Ferhout was the son of painter Charley Toorop and philosopher Henk Fernhout. He was, just like his mother and grandfather Jan Toorop, manly occupied as a painter. His work consists of landscapes, still-lives and portraits. After 1950 his work becomes more abstract in soft almost colourles tones
